• The British Royal Family is the group of close
  relatives of the monarch of the United Kingdom.
  The term is also commonly applied to the same
  group of people as the relations of the monarch
  in his or her rol? as sovereign of any of the
  other Commonwealth realms, thus sometimes at
  variance with official national terms for the
  family. Members of the royal family belong to
  (are born into), or are married into, the House
  of Windsor, since 1917, when George V changed the
  name of the royal house from Saxe-Coburg and
  Gotha.

• Although in the United Kingdom there is no strict
  legal or formal definition of who is or is not a
  member of the Royal Family, and different lists
  will include different people, those carrying the
  style His or Her Majesty (HM), or His or Her
  Royal Highness (HRH) are always considered
  members, which usually results in the application
  of the term to the monarch, the consort of the
  monarch, the widowed consorts of previous
  monarchs, the children of the monarch, the
  male-line grandchildren of the monarch, and the
  spouses and the widowed spouses of a monarch's
  son and male-line grandsons.

• Members and relatives of the British Royal Family
  historically represented the monarch in various
  places throughout the British Empire, sometimes
  for extended periods as viceroys, or for specific
  ceremonies or events. Today, they often perform
  ceremonial and social duties throughout the
  United Kingdom and abroad on behalf of the UK,
  but, aside from the monarch, have no
  constitutional role in the affairs of government.
  This is the same for the other realms of the
  Commonwealth though the family there acts on
  behalf of, is funded by, and represents the
  sovereign of that particular state, and not the
  United Kingdom.

• Elizabeth has held titles throughout her life, as
  a granddaughter of the monarch, as a daughter of
  the monarch, through her husband's titles, and
  eventually as Sovereign. In common parlance, she
  is The Queen or Her Majesty. Officially, she has
  a distinct title in each of her realms Queen of
  Canada in Canada, Queen of Australia in
  Australia, etc. In the Channel Islands and Isle
  of Man, which are Crown dependencies rather than
  separate realms, she is known as Duke of Normandy
  and Lord of Man respectively. Additional styles
  include Defender of the Faith and Duke of
  Lancaster. When in conversation with the Queen,
  the practice is to initially address her as Your
  Majesty and thereafter as Ma'am (to rhyme with
  "ham").
• Elizabeth has received honours and awards from
  countries around the world, and has held honorary
  military positions throughout the Commonwealth,
  both before and after her accession.
